Default Motor mounts or TR Ypipe hanger?

Which would everyone go with? Install the poly motor mounts to prevent a problem or use the Thunder Racing Y pipe hanger to put a Band Aide on the problem.

I would install the motor mount. You actually only need to install the driver's side motor mount (lesser of the two evils).

Y pipe needs to be 3 inches for TR bumpstop to work. You answered your own question, when it comes to your car do you want to put a band-aid on it or prevent it from happening? Get the poly motor mounts...

I was just wondering everyone's opinion. If they cost the same, why don't people actually fix the problem rather than cover it up? I'll run down to Summit after work and get the motor mounts.

Because motor mounts are a bitch if you don't have a lift. Don't half *** it, do both.
